The Canadian government has surrendered Vancouver. On Feb. 20, the federal government announced three agreements with the Musqueam Indian Band. One of those agreements recognizes Musqueam aboriginal title within their traditional territory. That territory is located around the mouth of the Fraser River, including what is now Vancouver and neighbouring municipalities. The agreements were negotiated secretly without public input.
